After my iOS update to 16.2, I have a photo editing issue.

My photo editor in my iPhone SE after the iOS update (16.2) lost White color from my text palette color choices. I tried using the Grid to pick white for the text inside a text box and it would not change. I don’t see a way to add white to the palette. Is this a problem I can fix or is it a new bug on the Dec release?

During the photo editing on the iPhone SE, if you are using the portrait position of the phone the choices of the color of the text does not show white as an option. However by reorientation of the phone to landscape, the choice for the grid (spectrum of color) with a white target in the middle of a rainbow does work to select white for text lettering in dark photos. Just a way to get around the issue of not having white in the standard color palette. If the expert from Apple could make switches…. I would suggest black, white, green, red, and the spectrum target for the portrait position of the iPhone. Most pictures are edited in the portrait position and should have the most needed colors for text box lettering.
